Inept burglars make the cut this week, as do a group of partiers who allegedly got a little too risqué over Labor Day weekend:

1. Cops bust drug-fueled sex party at Masonic temple: Police in Battle Creek, Mich., broke up what a local TV station describes as an "out-of-control sex party" on Sunday. It's not just the fact that it occurred at a Masonic temple that's so weird. It's what's next door to the temple.

2. Police say Missouri man exposed 300 men to HIV: Police allege that a Missouri man has exposed some 300 sexual partners to HIV in the last decade. Why didn't he inform the other men? His explanation sounds straight out of junior high.

5. Tip for burglars: Get away before opening the tequila: A couple near Sacramento returned home to discover that their home had been burglarized and-cue the suspense music-that an intruder was still inside. Except he had unwisely gotten into the booze cabinet ... and then found a comfy chair.
